Best Matching Kitchen Appliance Suites

This handsome suite features a range and refrigerator that are true standouts. The range is among the best models in our ratings, and even outperforms our best induction model. The refrigerator is equally stellar with excellent temperature performance. The dishwasher isn’t top-of-the-line, but it is plenty effective for most households, with near top-level ratings for washing and drying. And the microwave is an unusually strong performer in its category, with very good ratings for both speed and evenness.

This suite from Samsung is built around the superb gas range. The range is packed with features, with a convection oven, a grill, and front-mounted controls. It’s also a strong performer, with capable ratings in nearly every single test. The refrigerator is a four-door, meaning the bottom-mounted freezer is divided in halves, with smaller drawers that can make it easier to access frozen foods. Temperature management is stellar. The dishwasher is reasonably priced and a solid performer, with an excellent rating for washing. And the microwave pulls its own weight, like the LG above, with a stellar rating for evenness.

Pro-style appliances often lag behind regular models in performance, but KitchenAid hits the sweet spot with stellar looks and strong performance. The range is dual-fuel, meaning it has a gas cooktop and electric oven. It sits near the top of our ratings, with strong marks, particularly the oven—it earns an excellent rating for broiling. The refrigerator, a built-in French-door model, is the biggest splurge here, but it’s also one of the very best built-in models in our ratings. The premium dishwasher is a stellar performer, with a very good rating for washing, and it features digital controls on the front panel. The microwave is also among the best, with an impressive rating for evenness.
